Ugh, Grandma smells! How to eliminate / clean urine smell?

[Kerrijohnson]

I thought I was being a good friend when I agreed to take his Grandma home from the wedding reception Saturday night, but apparently her Depends was full…? My beautiful Rivian R1S now smells like urine in the passenger seat. I wiped the surface, but it has gotten into the tiny holes in the seat. ? What can I clean it with? Will cleaners stain the seat material? No more rides for Grandma… ?‍

Dang it...

I think you're in for a treat here with the work you'll need to do. I've checked THIS video and removing the cover from the bottom seat doesn't seem TOO complicated.

There seems to be one cable (assuming for the heated seat) and then only some elastic hooks?

Go to your local Petsmart and get Nature's Miracle pet stain neutralizer. It will break down the enzymes, not just mask the odor. This is great stuff.
I'm fighting the urge to joke that "ur-ine a tough spot here," or "you must be pissed off" so I won't go there.

I'm sorry @Mellowyellow , this joke is at your expense.... But I couldn't let this go without pointing it out

Oh my goodness...this girl will not be removing the seat cover because I will never get it back on! I have strengths, but that would NOT be one of them! Lol

LMAO...I love the jokes! Spot on! I actually have that Nature's Miracle from years past. Do you think it will stain the seat fabric?

I second the Nature's Miracle suggestion. I SWORE by that stuff back when my senior lab was still alive and couldn't control her bladder like she used to. It never stained any surface I put it on, and it was the only thing that made the smell go away.

Use a Bissel

If there is not a Petsmart around, Dow Scrubbing Bubbles (the real stuff, not the Walmart knock off!) will work in a pinch. We had a dog that was incontinent, and I just kept a can handy for cleaning up the messes he left all over the back seats. Spray it on, let is sit until the foam starts to dissipate, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Repeat as necessary.

This also work when my M-I-L had a similar accident to "Grandma", though we pre-planned and had a towel on the seat (pee still got through).

^Urinate out of ten with that joke.
—————————————————————

Larry, 90 years old, goes into his doctor for an annual physical.

The doctor says, “Larry, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?”

Larry replies, “God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so He’s fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof! The light goes on. When I’m done, poof! The light goes off.”

“Wow, that’s incredible,” the doctor says. Later in the day, the doctor calls Larry’s wife.

“Bonnie,” he says, “Larry is doing fine! But I had to call you because I’m in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night, and poof, the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he’s done, poof, the light goes off?”

“Oh sweet Jesus”, exclaims Bonnie. “He’s peeing in the refrigerator again!”

I'd be ordering an entirely new seat!

As an adopter and foster of multiple rescue dogs, I've used this on multiple fabric and hard surfaces. I've never had it stain. You do need to follow the instructions : spray on the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes to work, then press a dry towel on the spot to soak up the cleaner.
Good luck!

OK...that was hilarious.

I'd take that to my detailer and plan on tipping well.

After you get it cleaned up get an ozone generator on Amazon. They work incredibly well to eliminate odors that won't go away with cleaning. Years ago saved me from having to sue a BMW dealership after I picked up my demo M3 that was "manager driven" and "pristine". Turns out the manager had a love for cheap cigars. Couldn't the smell out to save my life. Bought a used ozone machine and it took care of it. They are now super affordable.

Recently bought this one and it works better than our older, larger and much pricier one.
